Even on-site would be better -- theft or physical damage would easily render such "in-place" backup moot. Better than nothing though, I suppose -- and I will readily admit that SD cards are quite tough (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/3939333.stm).

Thing is, the nice snug fit of this device (its entire appeal) goes against frequently taking it out to store elsewhere.

I guess you could use it with two MicroSD cards to alternate back-ups, storing one at home, one at the office. But then the sole advantage would be that during the day, you're not bumping into it sticking out of your computer. I don't move my laptop around during the day often enough for that to be an issue.
